Early Morning

Early in the morning I sat peacefully in my lawn chair nestled among the trees and flowering plants in my garden, watching the many varieties of birds come to feed, humming birds flitting, white puffy clouds floating along, breeze caressing my skin and enjoying  my cup of fresh coffee flavored with cinnamon and other spices.

 Peace, quiet, contentment.

I realize that it does not matter what problems the day might bring, or world strife, or decisions and adjustments to be made,                 THIS MOMENT in time is perfect.

And I give thanks.

“ This is the day that God has made, rejoice and be glad of it”

Rejoice! What a wonderful word. Rejoice and have joy.!!!

Peace and Joy to All

Living Life

Life is meant to be lived so every moment is precious, happy, and joyful. Life asks us to strive for meaningful pursuits, to allow us to reach back to yesterday pulling forward the good, to see God’s creation in all things and to lean forward to see tomorrow with joyful anticipation. Life moves from one place to the next, continually changing, continually bringing joys and sorrows. What we make of those joys and sorrows gives us our life.

Within each of us is the strength and fortitude to live life to its fullest potential. We just have to reach out and grasp what is there waiting to bring us joy.

Live life! Believe in it and it will reward you with sunshine and happiness if you learn to look for the positive aspect of each day. Start each day with anticipation and expectation of all the many gifts you will receive as the day unfolds.

“This is the day that God had made, Rejoice and be glad of it”

Peace and Joy to All 

Summer Delights

 　

A dragonfly alights on a stalk of grass,

Blowing in the summer meadow

A lonely oak stands on a hill,

 Arms reaching to the sky

Golden light skims across the pond,

As pollywogs wiggle near shore.

The sun is shinning for our joy,

As soft summer breezes play on our faces.

Birdsong flies unfettered over green fields and azure sky

Glorious summer flowers bloom in profusion,

Lighting our world with rainbow-hues of color.

Laughter of children ripples like water in a brook, in innocent pleasure

The entire world is dazzling in the sunlight.

Sailing on the lake, fireworks in July,

Picnics, barbeques and parades

Summer rain storms with awesome displays of lightening and thunder

And crimson sunsets to end our days with joy

These are the delights of summer

Touch the earth, see the sky

Delight in summer’s bounty.

Peace and Joy to All
